Softball Playing Giraffe!

Hello again! So I had so much fun creating the cute little elephant yesterday, so I decided to go ahead and make the giraffe as well! It was a little more difficult to make than the elephant, but it's alright for the first try! I've never made a giraffe before...

I made a few other figures last Christmas for my family Christmas dinner. My plan was to make cake ornaments and place a figure in front of each one as sort of a name tag. I made two penguins, an elephant, a mouse, a reindeer, an owl, Tigger, and Winnie the Pooh. I had so much fun making them! Unfortunately, they ended up being a little bigger than I anticipated. They were the same size as the ornaments! I did not end up using them and later threw them away :-( Here are a few of my favorites...

Well I guess that's it for today...all that's left are some mini baseballs, the cakes, and a few other details! I'm excited to see the final product!!!

About Me

I love everything sweet from candy and cupcakes to bubble baths, flowers, and pink champagne. I also love to bake! My grandmother taught me to bake at a very young age and I have loved it ever since. I would eventually like to open a bakery in my grandmother's maiden name, Keton. Her grandparents both moved to Waco, Texas, met, fell in love, and started a bakery together called Keton's Bakery. It was famous for its cream puffs, eclairs, kolaches, and cakes. It caught fire before I was born so I was never able to see it myself. It meant so much to my grandmother and has inspired me to improve my skills and hopefully, one day, open my own Keton's Bakery. Here's to happy baking!
